Ultralow-Power Electronics for Biomedical Applications- July 22, 2008 Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering Volume 10, Page 247-274, 15 August 2008. The electronics of a general biomedical device consist of energy delivery, analog-to-digital conversion, signal processing, and communication subsystems. Each of these blocks must be designed for minimum energy consumption. Specific design techniques, ...http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.bioeng.10.061807.160547?ai=sb&... Bacterial Quorum Sensing: Signals, Circuits, and Implications for Biofilms and Disease- July 22, 2008 Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering Volume 10, Page 145-167, 15 August 2008. Communication between bacteria, belonging to the same species or to different species, is mediated through different chemical signals that are synthesized and secreted by bacteria. These signals can either be cell-density related (autoinducers) or be ...http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.bioeng.10.061807.160536?ai=sb&... Point-of-Care Diagnostics for Global Health- July 22, 2008 Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering Volume 10, Page 107-144, 15 August 2008. Biomedical engineers have traditionally developed technologies in response to the needs of the developed world's medical community. As a result, the diagnostic systems on which they have worked have met the requirements of well-funded laboratories in ...http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.bioeng.10.061807.160524?ai=sb&... Quantitative Imaging of Musculoskeletal Tissue- July 22, 2008 Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering Volume 10, Page 369-390, 15 August 2008. Quantitative imaging of musculoskeletal tissue, including radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has become the essential methodology in clinical practice for diagnosis and monitoring of various musculoskeletal ...http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.bioeng.10.061807.160533?ai=sb&... Molecular Engineering of Viral Gene Delivery Vehicles- July 22, 2008 Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering Volume 10, Page 169-194, 15 August 2008. Viruses can be engineered to efficiently deliver exogenous genes, but their natural gene delivery properties often fail to meet human therapeutic needs. Therefore, engineering viral vectors with new properties, including enhanced targeting abilities and ...http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.bioeng.10.061807.160514?ai=sb&... Catch Bonds in Adhesion- July 22, 2008 Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering Volume 10, Page 39-57, 15 August 2008. One of the most exciting discoveries in biological adhesion is the recent and counter-intuitive observation that the lifetimes of some biological adhesive bonds, called catch bonds, are enhanced by tensile mechanical force. At least two types of adhesive ...http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.bioeng.10.061807.160427?ai=sb&... Current and Future Considerations in the Use of Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices- July 22, 2008 Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering Volume 10, Page 59-84, 15 August 2008. Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem in the United States, and its prevalence is likely to increase with the aging U.S. population. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) utilizing bladder-based blood pumps generating pulsatile flow has been ...http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.bioeng.9.060906.151856?ai=sb&a...
